Dr. Hupp was a physician in Woodstock and had been married before to  Clara Copp. Shortly after his marriage to Alice, she became a widow, once  again, when Dr. Martin Hupp died 10 August 1829. He was buried in  the Copp-Hupp Cemetery a couple of miles north of Toms Brook. The widow  Alice then married  circa 1835 to William Anderson who was her  sister's widowed husband William Anderson who  had moved from  Shenandoah County and settled in Pendleton County, Virginia circa 1831 where his  first wife Rachel died. He married around 1835 to his wife's sister Alice  M. White Fravel Hupp and they lived in Pendleton county until  they both died. They are all buried in the family cemetery in Franklin,  Pendleton County, what is now West Virginia. -------------------------- 1850 Federal Census: Virginia South Fork, 50th District, Pendleton County Enumerated 29 July 1850 Page 5A Lines 37-42, HH 66/66 William Anderson   61/Male/Farmer/$20000/VA Alice M.

The high awards that are attainable in  character and influence through a life of industry and probity, guided and  regulated by a sense of Christian obligation, are illustrated in the career  of William Boggs Anderson, for many years an agriculturist of Pendle- ton  County. Possessed of more than ordinary industry, he entered upon his life  work in young manhood and never failed to carry out the obligations laid upon  his willing shoulders nor to follow up opportunities that opened  before him with steadiness and industry, gaining step by step the rare  fruits of well-directed enterprise, until he found him- self in a position  where he was independent financially and held in high esteem by his  fellowmen. Mr. Anderson was born September 7, 1861, in  Pendleton County, and belonged to a family that originated in Scot- land,  the first American ancestor of which was his great- grandfather, who came  from Glasgow, Scotland, in the first years of the United States as a  republic. The grandfather of William Boggs Anderson, William Anderson, was  born in 1800, at Woodstock, Virginia, and served as a drummer boy there  during the War of 1812. When he attained mature years he became a business  man, and at Woodstock followed merchandising for some years. Like his two  wives, who were sisters, he was possessed of marked literary taste,  and owned a splendid home library. He was a member of the Virginia  Constitutional Convention and a prominent man generally in the State of  Virginia, which he left in 1831 to cross the mountains into Pendleton County,  settling on the South Fork of the South Branch of the Potomac River, where  he owned and carried on extensive operations on a large plantation. His son,  David Crawford Anderson, estab- lished a school for boys in Pendleton County,  and although it was located far from any communities which boasted  of populations of any considerable size he made it something of an  educational center for the youths of the county. He was a college-bred man  himself, and in addition to teaching in his own school, was an instructor in  a classical school at Franklin, and later in one at Moorefield. William  Ander- son rounded out his career on his plantation, where he died, and  his body was interred in the cemetery near Franklin with others of the  family. His first wife was Rachel White, of Greenbrier County, Virginia, and  the six children who were born to them were as follows: Mary, who died as  a maiden; David Crawford, the educator and founder of the boys' school  noted above, who married Louisa Boggs and died in 1891; William Henry, who  died young; Junius Brutus, the father of William B.; Robert Allen, who  joined the "gold rush" to California in 1849 and died in the gold fields;  and Philip Williams, who was a physician and sur- geon throughout life and  died at Charleston, West Virginia. For his second wife William Anderson  married his first wife's sister, Mrs. Alice (White) Hupp. The White  sisters were highly educated women, their father being Valentine White,  the proprietor of a school for girls at Warm Springs, Virginia. Valentine  White married a Miss Rhodes, a lady from Wales, and one of their daughters,  Polly White, mar- ried John Cowardin, of Richmond, Virginia, one of  their sons, James Cowardin, being editor of the Richmond Dis- patch during  the war between the states. Mrs. Rachel (White) Anderson died July 19, 1831.  The issue of William Anderson and his second wife was a son, Samuel,  who passed his life in the main at Franklin, as a farmer, and died  unmarried. Junius Brutus Anderson, the father of William  Boggs Anderson, was born November 19, 1824, and was educated by private  tutors who came to visit his father's home for the purpose of instructing the  children. He became one of the early merchants of Franklin, and during the  war between the states engaged in the manufacture of grey goods for  uniforms for the Confederate soldiers. He died August 9, 1870, and was buried  in the family lot at Frank- lin. Mr. Anderson married Miss Margaret Boggs, a  daugh- ter of Gen. James Boggs. She was a faithful member of the  Presbyterian Church and a pioneer of the Franklin congregation, and she  passed away in that faith July 22, 1894, aged over sixty-one years, having  been born May 5, 1833. Sallie Anderson, the oldest child of Junius B.  and Mar- garet Anderson, is now Mrs. Cunningham and a resident  of Franklin. She was born in this old country town in 1858, and completed  her education at Fairfax Hall, Winchester, Virginia, from which she was  graduated in 1881, subse- quently taking a post-graduate course in art. She  estab- lished a boarding school for girls at Franklin, growing into it  rather easily and unintentionally, until she found herself at the head of a  popular and useful institution and con- tinued its life for seven years. She  then gave up literary school work and took up art, giving over her entire  time to instructing her pupils in oil painting and pastel work.  Her paintings have attracted widespread attention and have received much  favorable comment from critics. Many of them grace the walls of leading homes  all over this region. On May 4, 1893, she was united in marriage with  Eliacum Cunningham at Edinburg, Virginia, while she was teaching for a  short time at Winchester. Mr. Cunningham was born July 2, 1853, in Pendleton  County, and acquired his educa- tion in colleges in Virginia and elsewhere as  he could provide the means to further his studies. He taught school for  a number of years in Lewis County, this state, and after read- ing law for  five years with William H. H. Flick, of Franklin, was admitted to the West  Virginia bar. Soon after his marriage to Miss Anderson he established his  home at Beverly, West Virginia, where he followed his profession during  the rest of his life, dying in December, 1901. He was active in democratic  politics, and was frequently an official in the State Senate, where he served  as reading clerk and clerk. He never campaigned in his own behalf.  Mr. Cunningham was at first a warm supporter of William Jen- nings Bryan  for the presidency, and while he lost some of his admiration for the  Nebraskan he always remained loyal to the democratic cause. In May, 1902,  Mrs. Cunningham resumed her connection with her native town, where she  has continued her work in art and is an active member of the Presbyterian  Church. She has not cared to exercise her right of franchise as a voter, but  has raised no objection to others voting if they wish to do  so. William Boggs Anderson was reared in a commercial atmosphere, his  father being a merchant, but when he en- tered upon his serious career  adopted agriculture and stock- raising as his own pursuits. His education was  secured in the public schools, and as a young man he taught school for a  time, but soon abandoned the educational profession for the pursuits of the  farm and became the owner of valuable lands in Randolph and Pendleton  counties. He contributed much to the development of the several communities  in which he was located by improving his own estates, and became known as  one of the large operators of Pendleton County. Mr. Anderson's chief stock in  cattle was of the Hereford strain, and he took particular pride in the  pro- duction of live stock, constantly seeking to better the breed of his  herds. While agriculture was his chief concern, he also had some experience  in commercial affairs, having con- ducted a hardware store at Franklin for  many years. He was also one of the directors of the Farmers Bank of  Frank- lin. Politically he was a stanch democrat and manifested a strong  interest in politics and political campaigns, being often a delegate of his  party to conventions. No fraternity ever won his favor. He was a member of  the board of deacons of the Presbyterian Church, and died in that  faith March 16, 1920. He is survived by a brother, Charles, who is a  farmer on the South Fork of the South Branch of the Potomac River; and four  sisters: Mrs. Sallie Cunningham, of Franklin; Mrs. J. J. Roberts, of  Culpeper, Virginia; Miss Alice Anderson, of Franklin; and Mrs. Lucy  Headley, also of Franklin. One brother, Dr. Walter, died at Franklin while  engaged in the practice of dentistry. At Franklin, December 6, 1899, Mr.  Anderson married Miss Catherine Dyer, a native of Pendleton County and  a sister of Dr. Osceola Dyer, of Franklin. She was orphaned by the loss of  her father when she was a child, and her girl- hood was spent at the home of  her uncle, John McClure, who married Rebecca J. Skidmore, a sister of Mrs.  Ander- son's mother. Three children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Anderson: J.  McClure, one of the young farmers of the Franklin community, who registered  for the World war but was not called into active service, and he married  Miss Marguerite Boggs, a daughter of Hugh Boggs; Effie Harness, who is a  high school student at Franklin; and William Dyer, who has just completed his  graded school work. The Anderson home, standing upon a conspicuous  site at Franklin, was erected by Mr. Anderson, and goes far  toward teaching the present generation his character and the manner of man  and citizen he was. ----------------------------- Researched and Submitted by Gloria  Bushong ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to VASHENAN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
